After I did Doom rated 10b and Fate rated 11a/b I thought Doom was a more difficult climb than Fate. I asked Alex A about the routes one day and he thought the two route's ratings may have been switched in the book. (He worked with Swartling on the 2nd addition.)

I didn't get to try Fate but I sure eye-balled it. It was hard to tell if it was going to be harder then Doom but it did look as though there was more for the feet in the crux roof area. That's what made Doom seem so hard for me--- it totally was lacking in good foot holds in those moves past the little overhang....
